In response to: What do you despise? By this are you truly known. - Frank Herbert
What really gets your goat? How do you think that reflects on you?
Okay. I'll start. What really gets my goat is when people don't allow each other the dignity of being human. They don't accept each other, they don't agree with one another, and they don't respect each other. It pisses me off.
I shouldn't be angry really. I'm just as guilty as everyone of suffering intolerance at times. The peeve of mine above shows my intolerance. I should just accept stupidity, greed, and anger as human nature and go on about my selfish, unconcerned life, right?
Perhaps if people allowed each other this dignity, the world really would end, because human nature just can't imagine harmony. They said it well in the Matrix, "Humans define their reality by suffering."
I don't know what my anger at this says about me. Perhaps, in the long run, I'm just an idealist, but I think change can come about by the earnest action of just one person. The first step has to be made. And I'm from pioneer stock so I say, I'll be the first.
There's always more than just two ways of doing things, and I shall be remembered as the one who said:
